Structure Collab Week 2

 Been a busy week! We met as a group last Friday and showed our ideas and designs, and decided to do a desk and bench in the nest. A multi functional piece of furniture that we could share with the student body. We broke up into three groups to divide and conquer. I am apart of the desk group and was tasked with creating a design to present to the group on Wednesday night. In thinking of construction, and what a CNC machine can do, as well as replicating the design of the facade of the nest I came up with the below. 

My thoughts were around creating a structure that wasn't too heavy, and would still allow for light to flow through the space as the nest is not a very large space. With tabs this would be self aligning and really easy to put together post machining. 

A unique design that is unlike anythings else in the school, this art deco inspired piece is light, functional and unobtrusive. 

The group concluded to go with Daniela's geometric interactive design, with a very creative bench that is a hybrid of Nadia's bench and Erica's bench design. The pattern from Daniela's shelves will also be incorporated into the bench as well to tie the two pieces together. I am a little concerned about the amount of work we have to do to get done in the time given, but have confidence in the group that we will pull it off. 

Until next week...
